This first period of service was for five years and then it wasn\u2019t until 1982 that it would be seen in passenger action and save for the odd year here and there it has remained operational ever since proving to be a popular member of the fleet with much use made of it at the start and end of the season thanks to its fully enclosed nature.<\/p>\n<p>In this photo we see <strong>180<\/strong> at Stephenson Place on 14th June 1989.
